Ellucian Banner Reporting with Webfocus

So I have been a bit of a transition for the last few months as a embarked on a new endeavor into the world of higher education.  My current role is the Financial Services reporting analyst so I have been tasked with creating webfocus reports and dashboards to service the operational users, department managers, directors, and chancellors of a fast growing public university.  My challenges are going to be learning the BANNER ERP system's modules, tables, data, and realtionships.  This is phase one, as I learn and go along I will use this blog a reference manual for myself and hopefully it can help another analyst who may need to find a "how to" guide in reporting on Ellucian Banner systems using information builder's WebFocus.
